I recently lost my job because of this and i have been on a downward spiral ever since. this video is a HUGE HUGE revelation to me. now i know what is wrong with me i can take steps to fix myself(this is likely at this point a combination of depression and autistic burnout). i cannot thank you enough for this video, for me the symptoms were feeling like my brain was in a vice. a vice that was forever tightening. i couldn't learn, i couldn't think, and i couldn't learn, or do ANYTHING.TY TY TY TY

Is this the art dad guy?

"Getting to the point" -- so frequently I think "shut up and SAY something."

Uh this is just the cultural exchange conundrum. You say we wouldn’t blame the foreigner who doesn’t conform or respect local tradition, that may be true in North America currently it hasn’t always been so nor is it true of other culture particularly those in the east who get mad at the loud dirty foreigners. Nothing you’ve said supports this theory as being a unique experience of autistic people - it’s the experience of any outsider group that does not conform to the local culture. Why is that a bad thing? If cultural norms are not enforced or expected how do you even have a culture?

Our artistic burnout led to us being sent to inpatient care. We had an episode of screaming after we were overstimulated and got the cops called on us by our best friend who wasn't even there, and then they took us against our will to inpatient. We have been chronically homeless ever since, in and out of inpatient and living in our car 2 winters. We also have hypermobility and chronic pain. When we got sent to inpatient for the third time there was a doctor that told us that the way that we were speaking was so confusing that we must be hearing voices. So they prescribed as abilify which has the side effect of restless lake syndrome. So now we have chronic pain from hypermobility. Restless lake syndrome from medication that we didn't want burnout, so bad that our chronic pain itself is overstimulating, and our doctor will not see us because we cannot be polite enough. When we asked for a test to see if we were autistic and they refused, we got angry at them and Froze. Went non verbal And then they threatened to call security on me, they tend to call the cops on me because I wouldn't move. We finally snapped out of it and left. We left them some angry voicemails about how we thought we were treated unfairly And asked for a caseworker and an advocate, and they dropped us as a Patient. Doctor's misunderstanding of burnout caused us to lose our entire life. We are a person who Can no longer mask enough to hide stimming. We are dying because doctors don't understand burnout.

Non autistic people BS too much.

I apparently have a hypersensitivity to loud noises and cannot filter out externous noises if I am quiet. I can't avoid other people's conversations as they talk in my general vicinity above ambient room noise, and they get annoyed at me when I interject because my brain won't stop processing their words. They also get annoyed at me when I am hyper focused because they think i am aware of them and deliberately ignoring them or treat me as someone who shouldn't be trusted with certain responsibilities. It's also weird when I do the same behaviours to get their attention and they get startled. Out of the list Chris gave, I have the same mental and emotional reactions to items 3-9 but none or far less a physiological reaction. To me, cereal crunches are perceptionally and bizarrely fascinating, unless I am about to fall into a focused state.

Holy shit. Everything you said is me. My wife once asked if I was autistic and I just laughed, but the more I’ve looked into it the more it seems likely and would explain so many difficulties I’ve had before

Hi Chris, Do you know if vibration sensitivity is a separate sensitivity or is it just part of misophonia? Love your channel it’s a lifesaver, you make me feel okay and that is very good! Thank you.

😁 ❤🙏 😁 ❤🙏 😁 ❤🙏 But may you please clarify something unclear in the video? Did you say you are YES DIAGNOSED, or NOT SO because of various factors undiagnosed autistics face? If you don’t mind, I would be very interested as this is my situation and for my actual safety and longevity I feel it’s really important to know despite my own very real convictions, lived experience and subsequent research pursuant to what I am pretty sure is burnout, it just doesn’t have the same qualities as the one that got me diagnosed with ADHD half of my lifetime ago 😮 🙏 in advance

Do you use a green screen for videos?

How do i logically tell myself that i deserve the nice things and spending time with my special interests?

Too funny! 😅😅😅🥲😭

Make symmetric rhythmic patterns with my fingers just using pressure so no-one can even tell. Also, make symmetriv rhythmic patterns with my tongue against my teeth and the roof of my mouth - invisible again. I "play" tunes on a non-existent 'cello, working out the pitch using the fingers I would be using if I had a real 'cello to hand. And you guessed it, invisible again. (As a child I got told off or laughed at for twirling my hair or whatever, so I went invisible).

I'm an SLP and have worked with the autistic population for two decades. I am just beginning to learn... it takes that long sometimes. What I see as positive is that kids with autism tend to be the kindest people once you get to know them. They have deep feelings and at young ages will struggle often with communication and social pragmatics but this teaches them compassion, and this is something that I value. They also generally seem to value and respond to genuine kindness more so than other kids, and I think that this is because it is very difficult being a bit different. If anyone is autistic, do you have any suggestions for me when working with autistic folks? Thanks!

I needed to pause your video several times because I started crying again and again. I feel so much of what you've been saying. And now I also feel so much validation for the things I've been experiencing. So thank you, from the bottom of my heart <3

This is gold.

You have something on your face!!!

Most managers do not like social justice or have good morals, which is why ASD and me included, ends up getting into trouble

ASMR terror

for me: I can't eat soup or be around anyone eating soup - the sound when the liquid in the spoon drops into the soup and goes "plop plop plop" drives me INSANE

Wow i took to the doctor 13 years ago because of exhausting that had been there my whole life. They took a blood test, said the numbers were fine and asked if I was depressed. I was not. Then nothing. I have had several burnouts and got told it was stress. It was just this week i realised i have autism and that is because of my daughter who cannot function in school

I’m trying to get a diagnosis of Autism, but everything I read and seen. I am most definitely autistic. And I been in burn out for the last 4 yrs. I was burning out since foreverdom

Debby, lovely that you are so accommodating but how do you get you time? I mean, yes my hubby also loves his routine but I am a very spontaneous person and need some space to express this even if that can't be shared time with the hubby. For example, if I actually want to go shopping I'll go on my own or I will cycle or walk on my own so I don't have to stick to the route he thinks I should take. I also found hubby far less patient after drinking alcohol and moderating his drinking really helped things go more smoothly. 😊

I really like pacing I do it alot whenever I roleplay, it helps me get in character :]

Knee pits. I've never heard that before. I love it. Bloody hell does that mean I can have elbow pits as well? I am now literally going around my body looking for new pits. Toe pits? Ooh ear pits, you know right behind your ear lobes... 😆

For me it’s so bad, that I can’t even look at someone eating. Because I know the sound is there. And if I wear my in ears then I can hear the sound of me eating which isn’t much better 😂 My mom would always yell at me for saying that her eating was bothering me, which obviously was not helpful 😅 I also can’t listen to the radio or podcasts because I am filled with rage when the speaker’s mouth is either too wet, or too dry. You know, old people mouth sounds like them liking their lips or their disgusting tongue sticking to the roof of their mouth. The worst part is, I echolalia stim alllll the time, and I’m so worried it triggers others 😢

I appreciate you. 🖖

Incognito mode for me. Cheek biting, muscle activation (twitching quad muscles), silent snapping…

😂thank you for pointing out that the subtle shift from “people are a challenge” to “humans are awful creatures” is actually Just burnout!

Off topic, but why the hell would Lume make an ad to air during autism content that is someone basically shouting at you while making coffee with a loud machine? Even NTs should find it as offensive as their product smells.😂

Im autistic and i struggle with sounds but for some reason there is one sound that getting me into complete rage and its hella weird.. meditation sounds/ music. I just cant, just cant, I tried to ignore it when i was living with roommates but its waking up some homocidal rage in me. Other sound can just cause overstimulation = meltdown but my meltdowns are mostly internal and still skin sensitivity is the worst for me.

Autism is like covid

I DO THESE >🔻<

Styrofoam, wet snowboots on the leather/vinyl/whatever-it-was at the bottom of the front seats in our car growing up, balloon squeaks. Fortunately, at 37, I can no longer physically hear the frequencies that triggered my misophonia.

I’ve been going through this for 2 years now. Recently found out I’m autistic this last February. As a Christian this is also extremely frustrating. All I want to do is be the kind of man I need to be for those around me. When I can barely hold conversations or really serve others it absolutely destroys my sense of identity. Also doesn’t help that I cut hair for a living. If any of you pray, please pray for me. I’ll do the same for you. ❤ I know we’ll get through it in time.

Me watching this with an autism diagnosis

TBF, psychology is based on deviations from the norm. If the norm makes up 90% of people, then we fall outside that norm. That means we are 'disordered.' I am not saying it is right, wrong, or indifferent, just that this is how things are defined.

I have ADHD, RSD, OCD, Anxiety/panic disorder and I took a test on line and it does reveal autism. I listen to your videos and they are eye opening. 😊

What is the person with misophonia role in these situations ? My 9 yr old Granddaughter who has Autism has to deal with this in her life. Sadly the world does not revolve around her issues and does not bend to her needs all the time. I have asked her to leave is sound is annoying her, and she cannot use her autism as a excuse to be pushy or rude, she can ask and respond to the answer, which will be at times a No. She has to be understand that she is accountable for her actions in these situations. I sound mean, but we as a family support and accommodate her wherever possible. I found out that my airfresher was issue with her , so when she is here I turn it off. My home is a reset space for her. She is aware and is working on being Autistic in this world and will be her entire life.

Hearing someone eat soup is just is bad for me. It’s the slurping that gets me.

I went carnivore and my acid reflux disappeared. Oh and I fat a lot less! 😅

I'm pausing this video to say that I'm feeling really emotional listening to you. I am on the waiting list for a ASD assessment and I suspect I also have ADHD. I am already diagnosed with Complex PTSD. This video makes me feel so seen and understood. I am really grateful for you making it.

I L.O.V.E.D this video! So fun, engaging and informative! I suspect I have AuDHD and am waiting to be formally assessed. This was so clear and somehow uplifting! Thank you 🙂

Oof. I feel seen. Rarely do I identify so completely with one of these videos. But you are describing my life for the past 4 years better than I could ever articulate.

Your explanation of how it makes you feel is very similar to my experiences. It's simply hell. Try explaining to someone that the barely audible spinning washing machine 4 flats below you is making you want to rip your brain out through your ears. Summer is the worst. Screaming Gulls 22 hours a day (I live in the south east of England), lawnmowers, hedge trimmers, the bird that tweets a single tweet every 1.25 seconds for 18 hours a day, people sat outside my house in their cars with their engine idling while they doom scroll their phone for an hour, Magpies chattering at everything that comes with 100m of their nests. I could go on. From then end of May until the end of August I have silicone earbuds to sleep in and when I get out of bed they just get immediately switched to noise "cancelling" earbuds (anyone found any ear buds that actually cancel out noise??) or headphones until I go to bed and put the earplugs back in. Sometimes I have noise cancelling earbuds in with over ear headphones on the top.

10:50 my previous therapist always asked what i was thinking when i had peaks of anxiety. I always told her I wasnt. I dont have a movie monologue in my mind, or anything similar, really. I cant tell you what was causing anxiety by answering what i was thinking. My new therapist asks me what was the situation, what was happening around me. I had to find a neurodivergent therapist to finally be understood

For me it's cardboard rubbing together, sandpaper or nail files, Styrofoam rubbing together, whispering drives me nuts, also people who have wet sounding talking like smacking lips or like juicy wet tounge sounds when talking....

I hate when a request is implied. When i lived with my mom she would often say something like "is the trash bin filled?" And expect me to know that was a cue to take out the trash, even if it wasn't full, even if i had a routine of taking out the trash everyday when i went to school. Things like "ohh potato puree would fit well with this lunch" are meant to imply a request. Ask me directly instead of going through hoops to ask me for something!

Thank you for sharing ❤
